Proximo Zero 2022: Financing the Energy Transition | Proximo Infra | 2 November 2022 | Sheraton Austin Hotel at the Capitol, 701 E 11th St, Austin, TX 78701, USA

An action focused discussion not only on how groups are approaching divesting or reimagining conventional assets but also by investing in new, carbon neutral or carbon negative technologies.

We'll explore plans to transition and the role that different sources of innovative financing play in getting projects over the line. Network with key players of the market and find your next partner in the green revolution!

What can you expect from this event that is different from the typical event offering?
• Senior level speakers will partake in new session formats, such as game shows, workshops or more intimate idea labs making for an interactive and engaging experience
• Enjoy a dedicated networking concierge service available to connect you with potential clients both in the room and online - bringing people together is what we do!
• Sessions will vary throughout the day and include audience surveys, case studies and interviews - all encouraging speakers to challenge the status quo and giving you the chance of hands on Q&A time with some of the finest minds
• The hybrid format allows you to view the guest list through the online event platform prior to the day, so you can start to reach out and book meeting in advance, as well as watch sessions back on-demand if you missed any
• Make the most of your time out of the office with relaxed networking activities including local ice-breaker drinks the night before, long breaks for lunch and coffee and of course an end of the day cocktail reception!

We truly believe that having some fun along the way allows for more open and honest debate, as well putting guests in the best frame of mind to make new connections and strengthen existing ties.
